"Inky purple. Exotic, highly perfumed scents of dark berry preserves, potpourri, sandalwood and olive. Broad and spicy on the palate, offering sweet black and blue fruit flavors and notes of spicecake and vanilla. Shows real intensity with no undue weight. Closes sappy, spicy and very long, with slow-building tannins and lingering florality." Vinous, Nov 2013 |
